The most interesting part to me was... To place the production rate in perspective, MIT chose the NOR ICs in the fall of 1962 and by the summer of 1963, 60% of the [34] total U.S. output of microcircuits was being used in Apollo prototype construction34. This is one of the few cases in which NASA's requirements acted as a direct spur to the computer industry. hq.nasa.gov It's a shame that the federal government thinks there is a better return on the dollar for stealth bombers than there is for pure space research and exploration. What a bunch of ignoramuses. Bob
